  • COOKING TIPS 1 Tablespoon Hill Country Fare® Corn Starch equals 2 Tablespoons of flour. Use for thickening gravies, sauces, stews and soups. Where recipe calls for flour, use half as much corn starch to thicken. When thickening hot liquids, mix Hill Country Fare® Corn Starch with a small amount of water until smooth, then stir into hot liquid. Stir constantly until liquid comes to a boil. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, about one minute. Hill Country Fare® Corn Starch mixes with cold water more easily than flour does and will result in smoother gravies and sauces. MEDIUM WHITE SAUCE 1 1/2 tablespoons BUTTER 1 tablespoon HILL COUNTRY FARE® CORN STARCH 1/2 teaspoon SALT 1/8 teaspoon PEPPER 1 cup MILK Melt butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in Hill Country Fare® Corn Starch, salt, and pepper. Slowly add milk, stirring constantly. Bring to boil, continuing to stir. Boil one minute, stirring constantly. Makes 1 cup sauce. Variations: Cheese Sauce: Stir one cup grated cheddar or Swiss cheese into prepared sauce. Stir until melted. Serve over vegetables. Herb Sauce: Stir one tablespoon of a fresh herb such as basil, cilantro, dill, or tarragon into prepared sauce. Add one tablespoon of lemon juice, if desired. Serve over seafood or vegetables. Lemon Meringue Pie FILLING 1/4 cup HILL COUNTRY FARE® CORN STARCH 1 cup SUGAR 1/4 cup LEMON JUICE 3 EGG YOLKS 1 1/2 cups WATER 1 Tbsp. MARGARINE (OR BUTTER) 1 tsp. GRATED LEMON RING (optional) 1 (9-inch) PRE-BAKED PIE SHELL Directions for Filling: In a medium saucepan, combine Hill Country Fare® Corn Starch, sugar and lemon juice; mix well. Beat egg yolks; add to corn starch mixture. Add water. Bring mixture just to boiling over low to medium heat and simmer gently for five minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add margarine and grated lemon rind to thickened mixture, and stir until thoroughly blended. Pour into baked pie shell. Prepare meringue. MERINGUE 3 EGG WHITES 6 Tbsp. SUGAR Directions for Meringue: Preheat oven to 400° F. With electric mixer at high speed, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar. Continue to beat on high speed to form stiff, glossy peaks. Spread meringue over filling, carefully sealing entire edge of crust to prevent shrinking. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden. Cool on cake rack away from draft for 2 hours. Refrigerate, serve cold. Makes 1 (9-inch) pie. Chicken and Vegetable Stir Fry 2 Tbsp. VEGETABLE OIL 1 lb. SKINNED BONELESS CHICKEN BREASTS, cut into 3/4" cubes 1 1/3 cups BROCCOLI FLORETS 1 cup CARROTS, cut in 1" strips 1 cup CELERY, cut in 1" strips 1/3 cup GREEN PEPPER, cut in 1" strips 1/3 cup MUSHROOMS, sliced 1/2 cup WATER 3 cups HOT COOKED RICE (cooked without salt or fat) 2 cups UNSWEETENED PINEAPPLE JUICE 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh PARSLEY 1 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp HILL COUNTRY FARE® CORN STARCH 2 tsp. DRY MUSTARD 1 tsp. finely chopped GINGER ROOT 1 tsp. dried TARRAGON LEAVES 1 tsp. WHITE PEPPER Heat vegetable oil in wok on medium-high for two minutes. Add chicken and stir-fry for 8 minutes. Remove chicken from wok, leaving meat juices in wok. Add broccoli, carrots, celery, green peppers, mushrooms, and water to wok; stir-fry 10 minutes on high until vegetables are crisp-tender. Remove vegetables from the wok. In a small bowl, combine pineapple juice, parsley Hill Country Fare® Corn Starch, mustard, ginger root, tarragon, and white pepper. Add to wok and cook until thickened, stirring occasionally. To sauce in wok, add chicken and vegetables. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Serve over hot rice and season to taste with additional white pepper. Makes 4-6 servings.
